In this episode, we chat with Kristin Binford about how as a venue owner you can be appealing to engaged couples and stand out in the wedding industry. Some key takeaways from Kristin: > Show your pricing online > Ask your clients the hard questions > Clients don't want to be sold to. Help your clients understand their budgets and how what your venue offers will meet their needs > Clients can fall in love with a space, but they need to fall in love with the people they are going to work with too. > Not every couple needs the same things. How can you meet each couples needs?   Kristin is the Managing Partner of Haue Valley, a sought after wedding and event venue just west of St. Louis. She has been in the wedding industry for nearly ten years and has also served as a business coach to hundreds of wedding venue owners across the US and around the world.    More on Kristin:  Facebook: www.facebook.com/weddingvenueowner   Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/openingaweddingvenue   Instagram: www.instagram.com/weddingvenueowner   Website: www.kristinbinford.com   YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqnALQGQGsKgUjo5ygFTnow  Have questions?

In this episode, we are chatting about what wedding experience is going to be best for you and being open about all the changes that are going on constantly in the wedding business due to the pandemic.    We talk about why the option for a pop-up wedding or elopement might be the better option right now. Your time and guest count are going to be significantly different compared to a traditional wedding. You may consider this could be a better experience than you expect. Sometimes smaller can be better as it is more intimate and you can interact and engage with the wedding party more than you might have at a big wedding!   If you are still wanting a traditional wedding, we talk about why it might be a good idea to still wait until the end of this year or wait until early 2023. Maybe it's a time to enjoy your engagement longer if you want to wait for the full experience. Really we just want to help you weigh your options during a time that is beautiful for you and your partner but also a tricky time to be getting married with constant changes with pandemic procedures.   Have questions?

Thank you for sending in your wedding planning questions! We will have Q&A each month, so keep on sending them in. Meet your panel from today. “EVERYONE NEEDS A SHANNON” S.B.Moore Co Shannon Moore spent 20 years in the hospitality industry as a multi unit manager, corporate trainer and proprietor prior to stepping into the wedding scene.  As fate would have it, two sweet friends entrusted her with the management of their historic wedding venue. Having no knowledge of the industry, but incredible work ethic Shannon quickly settled into her role. A natural fit, as she is driven by her desire to help others and fueled by her passion for creativity. Shannon has a unique ability to take your vision and make it a reality. "What would we do without Shannon?", is a sentiment that all her brides and their families share.  After two years working exclusively with Beckendorff Farms, a handful of requests , and a ton of push from clients, family and friends, Shannon decided to start her own business. The idea really sunk in when she was designing a styled shoot with some of her favorite vendors. The calligrapher wrote S.B. on a place setting to honor the venue owners Stacey and Blake. Little did she know S.B. was the name given to Shannon when she worked in New York, as her full maiden name wouldn't fit on her companies business card. Shannon took that as a sign, and loved the idea of paying homage to her sweet friends that started it all. Hence, S.B. Moore.Co was created.  When Shannon is not planning weddings and events she enjoys living her best boy mom life chasing her 5 year old son Brody, and traveling with her family.
